Did you spot Surrey Life editor Caroline Harrap being interviewed live about the Surrey floods on Sky News last weekend? Here she is, mid-filming in Staines.

With local residents now left to survey the damage and clean up behind the flood waters, we’re working on a piece about what can be done to prevent a similar disaster in the future.

Whether you were caught up in the Christmas storms or the Thames takeover, we’d like to know how the floods have affected you and your towns and villages…

Who really stepped up to the challenges faced in your community? How did people keep their spirits up? What did you make of the ‘Chertsey Sausage’? How do you think the flooding problem could be tackled in the future? Was enough done to prevent it in the first place?
